Book excerpt: A Marriage That Almost Wasn’t By: Dorothy Thompson White Dorothy Thompson White has become an author at age eighty-two and said the reason she waited so long is because of the two wonderful husbands she married. The first one she dated for three years and married him after her high school graduation from Marion Co High in Guin, Alabama. He died twenty years later because of the many injuries he received from playing football throughout high school. This left White widowed at age thirty-nine. Three of her children married young. Then there was just one son who was only five. Six years later, Dorothy and her young son moved to Florence, Alabama, where she worked at a hospital as a diet clerk. Her son was then eleven, and Dorothy knew he would soon be gone and she would be all alone. So at age forty-five she placed an ad in a tabloid magazine and found the forty-eight-year-old love of her life. White believes this twenty chapter book is a must-read because he was the perfect husband to her and the perfect step-dad to her children. She went to Kentucky to live in his house there and learned that his great sense of humor made people laugh out loud.
